[Major Downing, in his letter of December 27th, after mentioning
the fact of his having read his views on the subject of the
Bank, and the Deposites, to the Cabinet, engaged to send a copy
of the document to this paper for publication. A delay of some
days occurred before we received it. This, we understand, was
caused by a wish that the Cabinet might have an opportunity to
re-examine the case, and a hope that they might unite in opinion
on this thorny matter. Having waited some time for the accomplishment
of this important object, the Major became convinced
that the present Cabinet was far from being a `Unit,'
and considered it useless to wait any longer; and he therefore
fulfilled his undertaking by sending us the document alluded to.]
